Chapter 23 There are many straight trees in the mountains, there are no straight people in the world

Cage leaned against his weapon tremblingly, trying hard to keep himself from falling down.

Kiheen was ruthless enough, and the sharp blade that pierced his left rib was running to death. In fact, Kiheen did it, and Cage himself could feel that his heart had been cut by the tip of the blade. The reason why Cage had not fallen was just relying on his strength to support it.

But Cage could only maintain that he would not fall down immediately, and he could not do anything else. All he could do was watch Keehn push forward step by step, then waved his big sword and cut off his head with a sword.

"Don't blame me, I just want to survive."

He reached out and pushed Cage's headless body fell to the ground. A bit of shame appeared on Keehn's face, but it soon disappeared.

After confirming that Cage was dead, he squatted down and groped on Cage for a while. When Kiheen stood up again, a black ring appeared in his hand.

This black ring looks inconspicuous, but Kiheen knew that it was this inconspicuous ring that contained the savings accumulated by the War Bear Mercenaries' efforts over the years.

Kiheen's eyes were radiating, and with this black ring, his lower body was worry-free.

As the deputy leader of the mercenary group, Cage's most trusted assistant, he knew a lot about the mercenary group, and even Cage's little habits were clear.

Kiheen remembered that before taking on this deadly mission, the War Bear Mercenary Group had a lot of money, and the commission for this mission was also several thousand gold coins, and the team leader Cage had not spent much money on him.

As long as I go to other human kingdoms, find a countryside to build a manor or something, I can enjoy the second half of my life comfortably.

Kiehn thought happily.

As for what will happen to the rest of the War Bear Mercenary Group, it can only be a blessing for oneself. He Keehan can't take much care of it.

"If you want to blame, blame this idiot Cage. If he hadn't taken on the mission randomly, how could he have become like this?"

While taking off his armor, Kiehn excused his behavior. He didn't think he had done anything wrong, he just wanted to survive, that's all.

In addition to reducing the load, taking off the armor can also create the illusion of being wiped out by all employees. The bodies of people who died near the gathering point of the gnoll will become food from the mouth of the gnoll. Others cannot tell how many people died from the number of corpses, but they will count the number of armor. If only ninety-nine pairs of armor are in the hands of the gnoll, wouldn’t it be obvious that someone is still alive?

"I have to say that most people like you have some brains."

Just as Kiehn was about to leave, a strange voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"who?"

Kiheen jumped up in fear, which showed that he was still guilty, after all, he had just done something bad.

Turning around quickly, Kiheen saw a strange young man leaning against the tree and looking at him with a smile less than a hundred steps away.

"Who are you?"

The strange young man Kiheen didn't know him. He walked towards him while asking questions.

The young man seemed not to see Kiheen's purpose. He patted the big tree behind him, half-expressed and half-mocked: "There are many straight trees in the mountains, but no straight people in the world."

What a mess?

Kiheen said he couldn't understand at all.

He raised his hand to signal to Kiheen, and the strange young man said, "I don't despise you at all, nor do I look down on you. It's normal for people to do something for themselves. After all, people don't punish themselves for heaven and earth. But..."

Once it appears when speaking, words like "but" often represent the arrival of a turning point.

There is no exception to the stranger's speech.

"But understanding is understanding, but whether you like or not is another matter."

Kiheen, who was walking towards the stranger, suddenly felt a warning.

He jumped to the side without hesitation, and when he stood up again, he found that there was no movement. The strange young man looked at him with mockery and a little surprised, as if he was saying that you were so funny.

Do you feel wrong?

Actually, no one wants to deal with themselves?

Kiheen had a moment of doubt.

The reason why I added three words to the question is that just when Kiehn was distracted, a sharp stone pillar emerged from where Kiehn stood.

It appeared so suddenly and time was so just right, and did not give Kiehn a chance to resist or escape. The sharp pillar suddenly allowed Kiehn to penetrate from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

“…”

Kiheen stared at the strange young man tightly, trying to say something, but in the end he just moved his lips and couldn't say anything.

The whole process was said to be late, but it was fast, and it took less than a few seconds.

Kiheen was very reluctant to die. He betrayed Cage, but what he got was such an end. How could he be willing to do so?

"I either ignore you or kill you."

The strange young man hooked his fingers, and the black ring that fell to the ground because of Kiehn's death was sent to him by an invisible force.

"Storage ring? Oh, a magical world is convenient."

The strange young man was actually Roger. The powerful gnoll in the stone house left the village when he recalled the gnoll troops. Although he did not see why Kiheen wanted to die Cage, Roger saw Kiheen chopped off Cage's head.

It is easy to judge from the clothes of Kiehn and Cage that Roger is in the same group, but Kiehn waved his butcher knife to his comrades who were fighting side by side after the battle, just to eat up a sum of money.

You forget your righteousness when you see profit!

Roger drew a fork for someone like Keehern directly in his heart.

When Roger bought the black ring, he was not polite and directly used his mental power to penetrate it.

In the perception of mental power, there is a storage space of one meter square in the black ring. In this storage space, Roger did not sense a large amount of gold coins.

No, just a few dozen gold coins?

Is such a little money worth killing your companions?

Roger doesn't believe it.

So Roger used his mental power to search the storage space carefully. Soon, Roger understood why there were no gold coins in the storage ring, because someone exchanged these gold coins for something.

A piece of parchment appeared on Roger's hand, and it was this piece of parchment that made Cage spend almost all the gold coins in his hand.

There are a few lines of words written on the parchment paper, which are written on special materials and are stamped with a seal on it.

The owner of this chapter is no one else, but the royal family of the Storm Kingdom and the Wurian family.

Parchment is not ordinary parchment. It is actually an edict stamped with a royal seal. Its full name is the first line of the word on parchment - the Territory Development Order.
